Dusk illuminated a small window
Silhouetting a lamp
Lighting the way
To love and respect

Warming a path
Of return
To a lost one
Following a heart’s desire

Calling light
As a beacon
To echo through the darkness
Through the torrent

Sending a signal
To break
The quietness
Of one who waits

Breathing life
Fulfilment
To spirit his strength
To rest in your shadow

Matching your feelings
And understanding
Welcoming the return
Of one he lost

The words are mine but I stole the images from Charles Dickens - of a father who lived near a North East beach and placed a lamp for his daughter enticed away to be used, in the belief she would return to his love and see the lamp to come home.

I dont think that has ever stopped, although the freedom to make your own mistakes matters as well.

Thanks

Dave
